Two Open Trellis Cards

 The Try a New Technique challenge over on Splitcoaststampers yesterday was to make an Open Trellis Card.   It's really easy to make and creates such a fun card design!

here's the YouTube Link for making the Open Trellis by Karen Phillip

The first card I made is one requested by a friend to give to her daughter-in-law for her birthday.

I die cut the stars out of gold metallic paper and then embossed them with a Lumber embossing folder.  The name is also die cut.

Then I made a 2nd Open Trellis card as a Christmas card.

I'm linking the birthday card to:

I'm linking the Christmas card to:

 Happy 4th of July to all those in the USA!  And Happy July 1st to all my Canadian friends!

Those are both lovely! Wonderful with the stars and so festive with the poinsettias! I must try making a trellis card.

I've been meaning to try this open trellis technique! It makes such a great background for any type of card! Love the stars and how you embossed them and how the poinsettias look on the trellis!
